Scores for Saturday 15 August 2026



Yet another dry and hot day on the golf course made playing difficult. Very tricky to hold the ball on the fairways especially on the 13th.

No problems for Steve Brewerton though who scored a fine 37 points to take the win with Roger Gibbs hot on his heals with 36 points. Roger had a poor front nine with 15 points but came back in 21, what could have been.

Some very fine nines with two people scoring 20 points on the front and Roger scoring 21 on the back. Richard won the front nine with 20 points but missed so many putts by an inch or so. Paul won the back nine with a measly 16 points as the other high scorers took first and second places, 

Entertainment on the course from the second group that decided that the new hole plan on the 6th was the wrong way around and took it on themselves to up root it and swap it. Unfortunately they were caught unawares by Ed Wilkinson who decided to phone the ProShop to complain, subsequently the group where chastised by the course Marshall. 

Entertainment off the course was on the patio afterward with Jock telling many a corny joke, the duck and the condom a particularly good one.

A somewhat depleted Swindle this week with only 8 players playing, many members taking holidays at the same time. Perhaps it is time to have a holiday chart to ensure the no more than two are absent at the same time!

The average gross score today was 93.13 and the average Stableford score was 32.00.

Best gross of the day was from Richard Hyne with 84.

There were 0 Eagles or better today.

There were 4 birdies today.

Stephen Brewerton with 1 on hole 15.
Richard Hyne with 1 on hole 8.

In second place on 36 points was Roger Gibbs.
The front 9 went to Richard Hyne with 20 points.
The back 9 went to Paul Gardner with 16 points.

Glorious weather greeted us today and the last group was Jason Landau, James Miller, Peter Creighton and Peter Williams who would be our winner? An early start of 9:30am would mean we finish at a reasonable hour and we would not catch any traffic on the way home. The course was much quieter than yesterday and we managed to get around in just over four hours. Duncan did not even attempt to play golf today but became the roving photographer giving us a good shot of Martin Deery getting the nearest the pin on 17. Nearest the pin on the 17th by Martin Deery, courtesy of roving report Duncan. Duncan also managed to catch my long bunker shot to the green on the 5th and I managed to make the birdie. Well done me.    Anyway back to the game, Roger Small had an abysmal start managing only 4 points on the front nine, he almost doubled his score on the par 3 12th with a four point par, another four point par on the 14th to help his score a little bit. On the 16th Roger was concerned he m...

Weather today was good no rain, no wind, course lookin excellent, another week or so and the new bunkers should be in play. Two injured or unwell players didn't make it so get well soon to John and Stevie B. The fairway definition is much better however between the fairway and the thick rough the edges have been cut with two opposingly cut 1metre wide strips. These make the actual fairways very narrow in places, players are also not sure if these strips are still fairway, I believe not but we could do with some clarification from the club as we currently have pick and place in action, does that include these strips? A good day for birdies with 10 in total, hole 14 in its new configuration, giving away seven pars from the 14 players. Martin L putted in from off the green in the dip on hole 2 for a great birdie. Peter C and Paul making birdies on the 17th, Peter C's was further than Paul's. Although Tony managed to win on Monday by parking in the low handicap parking slot it ...

The weather was not kind to us today and we had a number of dropouts. It rained for most of our round, which no doubt affected our scores. Today we were joined by Brian, it was good to see Brian and Emma again, we hope Brian enjoyed his golf and the changes to the course. Excellent round by James today with a gross 79, 34 points and four birdies. Richard has now moved to the top of the Player Of The Year table on 26 points but it's still all to play for with two weekends to play with eleven players able to win, although some of those will need two wins. Richard also leads the money list. On the course we now have a robot cutting the fairway on the 8th. Appeared to be doing a good job. Being much lighter than a tractor, it should damage the fairway less. Cutting nice straight lines In action Reports from the course James "Peter was very happy when he out drove me on the 4th. He even took a picture of it which he might be able to send you. But to be fair to him he did say in was...
